Yeah, they rarely leave TWAYF out of headlining sets, so it'll probably be played. It may be boring for longtime fans to hear it every time, but I've never seen DT live before and I love that song, so I wouldn't mind hearing it

Yeah, I had good time last night. Omnium Gatherum was very good, they play melodic death metal with some progressive edge, I think they sound a bit like Dark Tranquillity.

DT was great. Anders had a Moving Pictures shirt. Mikael was very energetic and clearly in a good mood, thanking the audience numerous time and complementing Finnish beer they had been supplied onstage. Behind the band was a screen, where images supporting the music were projected. And it's kinda weird they don't have a bassist at a moment, but the music worked well without a bass anyway.

Setlist:

Science of Noiseunknown, something off Construct probably?What Only You KnowLost in ApathyThe Fatalist? (I'm not completely sure, but I remember a line "The day has come")The Silence In BetweenLetheThe Mundane and the MagicMonochromatic StainsThe Wonders at Your FeetIndifferent SunsSilence, and the Firmament WithdrewTerminus (Where the Death Is Most Alive)State of TrustEndtime HeartsThereInFinal ResistanceMisery's Crown

For me the highlights were The Mundane and the Magic (have they ever played it with that woman?), The Wonders at Your Feet (before the guitar solo Mikael sang "These are the wonders, Joensuu" ), Terminus, State of Trust, Endtime Hearts, ThereIn and Misery's Crown.

I got some pictures with shitty quality, I'll try to upload them later. And I got to shake hands with Martin Brandström, the bald guitarist (Martin Henriksson?) and Mikael Stanne.

Judging by the recent setlists, the second song was probably White Noise/Black Silence. Or if it was a new song, then it's probably Uniformity. Cool that you heard Indifferent Suns and got to shake hands with the guys!

I'm pretty sure it was based on F# minor key, but I don't remember anything else about it.

Then it has to be WN/BS.

And yeah, I thought you probably just shook hands with the guys instead of meeting them after the show. The Tavastia gig is almost sold out, so I probably won't get to be close to the stage That doesn't make me any less excited though

This was the first time I've attended a gig in Helsinki; the next will be in February when I see another DT live The show took place at the legendary Tavastia club and it was sold out. OmG were alright and they got a good reception from the crowd (which already was pretty big by this point). DT started almost 10 minutes before the official showtime, which didn't bother me one bit The music played over the PA before their performance must've been picked by the band, since we heard some electronic stuff and The Depth of Self-Delusion by Riverside

The setlist was mostly the same as the one Ruba posted above, but we got Zero Distance instead of Lethe and Final Resistance. Mikael has to be the best frontman I've seen on stage - the amount of energy he has is unbelievable Too bad I wasn't close enough to the stage to shake his hand He was seemingly amazed by the reception they got, saying "kiitos" after many songs and repeating "It can't get any better than this!". After both Indifferent Suns and The Firmament Mikael was like "You guys recognized that song? Awesome!"

The screen projections were definitely cooler than just a basic backdrop would've been. The lack of bassist was kind of weird, but the performance worked well in spite of that. The backing track could've been a bit louder on some songs, but luckily you could clearly hear the bass on Indifferent Suns, because the bass line is so crucial to that song.

I had a long-sleeved shirt on and I didn't drink anything the whole night, so I was pretty sweaty after the show But hey, isn't that what rock music is all about? There was some moshing in the crowd, but I stayed away from the pit and kept some distance in order to avoid getting pushed. Seeing some guy attempt to clap his hands to the rhythm of the music in the 7/4 section in Zero Distance was comical. I bought a nice T-shirt with the tour dates on it after the gig.

A couple of pics I took during the verses of What Only You Know (the pics I took during some heavier moments of the show are pretty blurry thanks to Mikael's hyperactivity ):

Nice. Saw them in Denver back in February. Awesome show. I was especially excited to see Omnium Gatherum support them, as it was their first tour in the States, even though they've been around for years.

I didn't know the bass player (of DT) quit though! I was so confused the first minute or so of the show. Never seen a metal band use a backing track just for bass.

I haven't listened to DT in a long time, decided to give WATV a spin and it sounded way better than I remember.I have since loaded 7 of their albums to my ipod for further investigation.A really incredibly consistent band that never seems to make a bad album.Also killer live act.

Looks like Henriksson never recovered from that writer's block... Sad to hear the man who wrote classics like Lethe and Final Resistance has lost his inspiration. I also remember that in the documentary on Where Death is Most Alive they said the founding members had grown up in the same street and been friends since childhood, and it made me feel like these guys were inseparable.

Anyway, I'm confident the band will survive even without Martin, because Sundin, Jivarp and Brändström are all great writers and came up with pretty much all of the material on Construct already.

I've heard Atoma a few times, and I'm surprised they didn't pick the title-track as the lead single, because it's like the new Wonders at Your Feet and has got clean vox in the verses. It's a little early for me to say anything about the album, but I'd say it's more diverse and perhaps a little more keyboard-driven than Construct and includes a few atypical DT songs. The bonus tracks are... interesting!

Not sure if "more keyboard-driven" will be an accurate observation because Construct has plenty of that. However, based on comments of another journalist I'm expecting this to be a bit more aggressive and faster in overall tempo.

Yeah, my first impression was "wow, so many keyboards", but I haven't listened to Construct in a while so there may not be a lot more of them after all. But the person you're referring to is right, because there are more fast and aggressive songs this time around, though there are also more clean vocals.
